Oh lets put a cap on the price remove the monitors and keyboard/mouse and try and keep just the box under $1000

i'de say you were about right with a 8, upgrade the video card and you'll get a 10! lol
but not a bad rig at all

Heh...interesting. 700W PSU and 7300GT GPUs? Is that a typo?

My economical rating = 8.5
My raw power rating = 6
My WoW single-client rating = 42 (because X2 3000's and GeForce 5's are overkill for WoW)

Hey, this was fun. Who's next?

i thought this would be fun!

yea i have a 700w PSU for future upgrades and yes those are (2) 7300GT Vcards. i only had $1000 to spend for an upgrade. oh and its 1 year old i forgot to throw the age in there

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Roger that. I just upgraded two of my boxes to dual/quad core systems over the last few months. I still have one 3.6Ghz P4 around but it has good hardware everywhere else so I'm having a tough time justifying upgrading an alt box that gets 60+ FPS solid. :P

I like your set up i give it an 8 also. I think it could reach 10 if you had 2 x 9800GT cards and a quad CPU, maybe the new AMD true 4 brain chip, but your a pentium boarder.

im getting 200+ FPS on 1 copy of WoW at lowest settings but at max settings and max resolution with all the multi sampling i can get 60FPS with the most beautiful game WoW could ever be!! I love running 1 copy of WoW for the sharpness and textures i can get in SLi. I can run 4 copies of wow in SLi on only 1 monitor and get 60FPS on all 4 at lowest settings. with my current rig. I will be getting 4GB of Mushkin RAM in the mail soon and cant wait to install.

[bornmx]

yea the 9800 were not around when i got this. During normal game play i get around 30-40fps :S:S when running 3 WoW i get around 20 fps on the main window. Am looking at getting a quad-core cpu but need to save a bit.

Current setup:

Gigabyte P35-DSR3 mobo
Q6600 @ 3.0GHz aircooled
4 x 1Gb 5-5-5-15 800MHz PNY RAM
Gigabyte 9600GT
22" BenQ monitor + 22" Chimei monitor @ 1680x1050
Antec Lanboy case
650w Antec Tru-Power PSU
2 x 250Gb WD Caviar HD + 1 x 500Gb WD Caviar, all SATA2
Original G15 keyboard
Razer Lachesis mouse
Belkin n52 speedpad
Saitek X52 HOTAS
Windows XP

New system for running 4 wow clients + most of my dev work will be

Asus Striker 2 790i SLI mobo
Q6600 (I love this cpu and don't see the point to anything else )
4 x 2Gb Kingston/OZCrucial RAM (not sure on timings yet, depends if I can get 2Gb sticks in 1066 or not)
2 x 9800GX2
4 x 22" BenQ 1680x1050 monitors
Antec 900 case
Antec 750w Tru-Power PSU
6 x 750Gb Samsung SATA2 32Mb drives (1 for OS + installs, 1 for games + data, 4 for RAID5)
Fusion DVB-T dual tuner PCI-E tv card
Razer Lachesis mouse
Original G15 if I can find one on ebay, otherwise something ergo for coding
Vista64 Ultimate

Plan will be to mount the 6 monitors in a 3x2 format, current pc running 2 screens (1 with main, 1 for surfing/tv/movies/etc) and then the new pc handling 4 screens with one instance per monitor (am hoping that running 2 GX2's will give me the equiv of a 9800GTX per screen). The only issue I have is that I want the main screen in bottom middle position so it's directly in my los and it's second monitor on top, but this then means that the 4 monitors on second pc will have a gap between them if I am using it and it could get annoying. I may have to look into some form of switch so I can just plug the monitors into it, it into the 6 video outputs on the 2 pc's and then dynamically map between them as I need.

I'll be a little be on the harsh side with my rankings...first rig is around a 7 for me, the new one will be around a 12
